Public open space provision in residential zonings
Residential zone site requirements should include guidance on public open space provision as part of development, with linkages to existing or zoned open space to facilitate access.
Where appropriate, key site requirements for zoned residential land should include guidance on the provision of areas of public open space (including formal and informal recreation areas) as an integral part of the development. Where residential zonings occur in close proximity to existing or zoned open space, plans will normally provide guidance on the need for linkages between the development and these areas in order to facilitate ease of access.
